Hi guys, for about a week I've had a hen setting on some eggs. Once she started setting my egg production went from 12 or 13 a day to 4 or 5 a day. The hen is quite large either australorp or jersey giant, so she can accommodate lots of eggs. I went out a few days ago and found one of my Brahma hens on the nest, then the black hen was there. This morning i found the nest with noone. There are at least 30 eggs there. As i looked the Brahma hen Elsa climbed on and began pulling all the eggs under her. Ahe managed to get every one covered, which was an amazing feat. Mu question is, is it normal for 2 or more hens to tag team a nest to collectively hatch them? Its fascinating but really awesome to watch.
